This original The New Yorker issue from August 27, 1938, showcases a cover by Rea Irvin, the magazine's founding art editor and creator of the iconic Eustace Tilley. Irvin's signature style, blending wit and sophistication, helped establish The New Yorker's distinctive visual identity, making his covers highly collectible.
The magazine is in very good condition for its age, with only minor wear along the edges (see photos). Given its age, issues like this are becoming increasingly rare, and only a handful are likely to be found, making it a true collector’s item.
Please view the photos to see the condition for yourself. With over 4,000 issues of The New Yorker in stock, this rare edition would make a wonderful addition to any collection!
